A while ago every time I google for Origin or Altix, a website with a annually comparison of supercomputers showed up in the results - talking about the architecture of basically all produced high performance computers - Origin, Altix, Superdome, SX-6, Crays etc. The problem is, I can't find it now and I haven't bookmarked it, so I don't even now the link for archive.org, in case it was taken down. I think it was done by a person working at a university but I'm not sure, there were no pictures, only text on a beige background. Does anyone remember, what site it was and maybe knows the link?

Unfortunately no, this would be to obvious It was not just a list comparing FLOPS etc, it was more about the architecture of the "mass" produced high performance computers like those I enumerated in my first post. It was about these manufactured in the year when the report was written and about those which disappeared during the last year. I think there were reports for most years during the 2000-2010 decade. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think the last time I visited that website, there was a note, that the man who have done it, retired from the university and there were no new results published during last 2-3 years.

I spent about 10 hours searching (it seem to be gone), I looked through bookmarks on my computers and haven't found it. I never found a link to this site, it always appeared in search results, so unless someone also bookmarked it will be hard to find a link and recover it from archive.org... I hate the volatility of the Web.
